When did you identify with your race?

I recently read a post in which a woman from the midwest in the US asked an entire community: "What's it like to be black?" The cries of horror, lectures, and congratulations for seeking out different information still ringing in my ears, I was struck with another question - when had I become white?

So now I put this to you all, my friends list - when did you become identified with a color/shade on the color spectrum and what is it like being identified with that color?

What's it like to be red, yellow, black, or white?
